We're new to the Chinchilla Place family and wanted to introduce ourselves.  I'm Amanda and my chinchilla is a 2-yr-old, standard gray male named Tango (see photos on the "Chinchilla Pictures" page).  We recently relocated from southeastern Michigan to northeastern Tennessee and we're both adjusting to our new home!  I adopted Tango from a local Chinchilla rescue and re-homing organization in Michigan when he was 6 months old, and I've been in love with the little guy ever since!  He loves sleeping in his hidey house during the day, but has boundless energy at nightfall.  He's always been a faithful Chin Spin runner, but his new Flying Saucer is proving to be a challenge.  His favorite treats include rose hips (one daily for vitamin C), timothy hay cubes, and baked apple tree twigs.  While he enjoys a good scratch behind the ear from his human companions, Tango has always been the independent sort.  If he's to cuddle with us, it has to be on his terms!  I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge on these unique animals and answering your questions.  Thanks Jennifer, for allowing me to contribute.
